I have had a new situation happen to me that has been very scarey to deal with. It began when we were having a garage sale at my house one day, I got a tickle in my throat, then I started coughing. Thinking it was nothing big, I drank some water to clear my throat with. I started gagging and my throat started to close up, and I started gasping for air. Fortunately my daughter was close by, she began to pray for me and I could breath ok again.

I have had similar situations again, but not as severe. Last night I was mowing the lawn and I think the dirt from the grass bag got in my throat. The key with the coughing was not to get over stressed over it. I quit mowing the lawn and went to relax and my throat was fine.

Again this morning at work, I had a similar coughing situation. The dry throat tickle, coughing. If I get stressed over it, my throat starts to close. If I make myself breath and relax, it stops.
